Folding Shower Seats

ADA L-shaped shower seats:

Our products are used throughout the U.S. in homes, business, hotels,
hospitals and government facilities. Selected for their quality and durability, these attractive ADA compliant
heavy duty wall mounted folding shower seats are available in three attractive
seat finishes. Mounted on a heavy duty rust proof type 304 stainless
steel frame, these folding shower seats have a weight capacity of 300 pounds.

These wall hung seats are intended for walk in and roll in showers. For
shower / bathtub combinations check out Folding
Bathtub Seats.

Our ADA approved folding shower seats utilize a self locking mechanism to secure them
against the shower wall when not in use. For safety and durability, we avoid
the use of springs that will corrode and eventually wear out. A constant
friction, wall mounted bracket guides the U shaped yoke freely up and down,
resulting in a low pressure constant spring action to raise and lower the
seat. Our seats are made in America, maintenance free, light in weight yet heavy on
performance!

Pictured is our reversible design.

L-shaped ADA shower seats are reversible, for right or left handing. Reversible
shower seats may be specified with ivory or wood grain phenolic slats or with
a solid white high density polyethylene top. Phenolic slats provide superior
slip resistance, drainage and a more natural appearance, especially when specified
in the wood grain finish. Reversible seats may be changed into rectangular
models by removing the handed portion and replacing it with the included decorative
plastic plugs.

Our folding shower seats meet all ADA handicap requirements when mounted
17" - 19" from the top of the shower seat to the floor. Overall
dimensions are 32" x 23". Phenolic slats are 3" wide x 1/2"
thick.

How do I install a wall mounted folding shower seat?

Mounting the seat is not difficult but will require an experienced carpenter
or handyman. Experience in light framing, drilling through and installing
ceramic tile may be required.

Tools required can include:
Electric drill, masonry bit, punch...

Typical conditions:
We find the typical shower wall surround to be a 2x4 wood stud frame, covered
with gypsum drywall, tile board or plaster lath. The wall finish is typically
ceramic tile. These materials alone are not adequate to support the seat unless
you can mount into existing wood blocking or studs. You can use a 1/8th-inch
masonry bit, drill through the tile grout to determine if wall support is
in place.

Wall support:
Adequate wall support is absolutely necessary! Installation of the wall mounted folding
shower seat requires wood blocking in a typical stud wall. This is
not a problem in new construction. We suggest installing continuous 2 x 12
wood blocking between the studs, starting from the floor plate up to at least
24 inches above the shower floor. Remodeling an existing shower can be more
involved. If the shower backs up to an interior wall, consider removing the
wallboard and installing the blocking from the backside. If not, it may be
required to remove and replace a portion of the existing shower wall tile.

Anchoring hardware:
Once the wood blocking is in place and the wall finish has been installed,
mounting the folding shower seat is easy. Position the seat at the required
height, normally 17-19 inches above the floor. Use a magic marker to mark
the flange and wall bracket screw locations. Use a punch and hammer to carefully
nick the tile to prevent the drill bit from wondering. Use a masonry bit and
drill through the tile. All anchoring hardware must be carefully selected
to insure proper installation. Mount your new shower seat. Detailed
instructions are included with your purchase.

Good luck with your project. We hope you enjoy the convenience of your new
folding shower seat. If you have questions or need further assistance, please
feel free to contact us.

Phenolic seat tops:

The seats are available with phenolic tops and covered with a smooth, easy
to clean, plastic laminate in ivory color or a wood grain finish. Phenolic
slats provide superior slip resistance and drainage.

What is phenolic?

Phenolic is a hard, dense, moisture resistant material, made by applying
heat and pressure to layers of cellulose material impregnated with synthetic
resin. When heat and pressure are applied to the layers, a chemical reaction
(polymerization) transforms the layers into a high-pressure thermosetting
industrial laminated plastic.
